Tb alli uhom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, ANDREW JANSEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas,haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in I Apparatus forBurning Unburnt Gas Products, of which the following is a specification,

This inventionas specified, relates to new and useful improvements inapparatuses for burning unburnt gas products.

In burning gas such, as artificial "and natural gas, certain productsare not burnt or consumed and these escape, some in the form of fumestechnically termed carbon monoxid and others in various other forms.These unburnt products are valuable as fuel elements and if burnt wouldmaterially add to the combustion and cause the generation of more heatas well as eliminating the fumes. apparatus bu-rnmg these unburntproducts would consume less gas in generating a given amount of heatthan where said products escape and are not combusted. L

It is the object of thi;s invention to provide a method for burning allof the products'usually known .as waste products and to eliminate thefumes and poisonous vapors and incidentally to produce an apparatus forcarrying out the method. Certain experiments have been made along thlsline but a complete burning of the waste products has not been effected.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of thecharacter described that will be strong, durable, efiic ient, and simpleand comparatively inexpensive to construct, also one in which theseveral parts will not be likely to get out of working order.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention has relation tocertain novel features of construction and operation, an example ofwhich is described in the following specification and illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a heating stove with my inventionapplied thereto, Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line w-m ofFig. 1, Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on the line AA- of Fig. 2,Fig. 4 is an underside view of the heating stove, and Fig. 5 is asectional detail of the burner.

In the drawings the numeral 1 designates the front wall of an ordinarystove body, 2 the back wall, 8 ,the side walls, 4 the top wall, and 5the bottom wall. Within the stove body or casing a combustioncompartment or chamber A is formed which is separated from an air flue Balso within the casing. It is necessary that the combustion chamber beentirely closed so that the waste; products cannot escape except to theburners as hereinafter described. I

Thefiue B extends entirely across back of the casing in; rear oft-hejchamber A. At each sideof the chamber vertical sid'e fiues C areformed between the side. walls 3,:the sid Wall 6 o wall 7 of the flue.At the top of the cham ber acurved deflector plate 8 is disposed trans sly an ex n r e fl e 0 closing thetops of the same. The deflector plateis highest at'the center and curves down toward each flue C. The upper,portion of the chamber and the deflector plate forma dome in which the;waste products are accumulated.

A The bottom 5 of the stove casing has an elongated opening 9" as isalready shown in Fig. 4. An ordinary air and gas mixer 10 isi-nsert'edxin this opening and connected'to a gas supply pipe 11disposed under the stove. A gas pipe 12 leads upward from the mixer intothe chamber A, and is connected at its upper end to lateral branch pipes14. Elbows 15 lead from the lower ends of the fines C as shown in Fig.3. Burners 16 fit on the upper ends of the elbows and are connected tothe branch gas pipes 14.

Each burner 16 as shown in Fig. 5 is annular and has within its wall avertical annular gas channel 17, the inner wall of which is providedwith a plurality of upwardly directed ports 18 disposed radially of theburner. Gas supplied to the channel by the pipe 14 escapes through theports and is combusted at the center of the burner,- the radialdisposition of the ports causing the flames to project toward the centerof the burner. The lower end of the burner is internally screw threadedand receives a thimble 19 which has its upper portion tapered orcontracted while its lower portion which projects below the burnerproper, has an internal annular shoulder 20 which rests upon the upperend of the elbow 15, the latter having a snug fit within the thimble.

the chamber and the front The burner being lighted and the gas combustedat the burners, certain unburnt products will rise in the chamber A tothe dome thereof. As these products accumulate they will flow alongthe-under side of the deflector plate 8 until reaching the side flues C.The unburnt products will pass down the flues C to the elbows 15 andthen out through the thimbles 19 which, owing to their contracted upperends direct said products directly into the center of the flame wheresaid products are ignited and combusted. This circulation of the wasteproducts is continuous and completely consumes all combustible elements.It is here pointed out that the waste products must be delivered intothe center of the flame in order to be ignited and by so doing anignition of all the waste products conveyed to the burners is assured.

IVhile the invention has been illustrated in connection with a heatingstove it is apparent that its field of use is comparatively unlimited.Three elements are necessary to carry out the invention viz: a dome forcollecting the waste products, a burner, and means for conveying thecollected waste products to the burner.

In some cases a heating flue will be required. This flue is designed toadmit fresh air, convey it past the heating chamber and discharge itwithout bringing said air in contact with the waste products or fumes ofthe burners. In the drawings the flue B is used for this purpose. Theentrance to this flue is through the opening 9. Fresh air enters theflue B through the opening 9 and passes up said flue, thus being heated.A horizontal flue D is formed at the top of the stove casing over thedeflector plate 8. This flue D is formed by the top wall 4, side walls3, and a transverse plate 21 connected with the flue wall 7. In thefront wall 1 of the casing an elongated opening 22 is provided in whichthe flue D terminates and through which heated air is discharged. On thebottom 5 of the stove a pan 23 of water may be placed and moisturesupplied to the heated air.

What I claim is:

1. A gas burner for burning waste gas products comprising a body havinga central opening and provided with gas openings directed toward thecentral opening, means for supplying gas to the gas openings, and ameans for introducing waste gas products into the central opening'of theburner body.

2. A gas burner for burning waste gas products comprising a body havinga central opening and provided with gas openings communicated with saidcentral opening, means for supplying gas to the gas openings, and meansfor introducing waste gas proclucts into the central opening of theburner body.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
